Exploring Kelowna Wine Country

Kelowna is at the heart of the Okanagan wine region, with vineyards and wineries located throughout the surrounding countryside. The wine experience changes considerably depending on which direction you travel, making the choice of wine region an important part of planning a tasting day.

West Kelowna is known for its concentration of wineries overlooking Okanagan Lake, while Southeast Kelowna offers a different collection of vineyards and tasting rooms. North of the city, Lake Country provides another wine destination with wineries spread through a scenic agricultural landscape.

Because the wineries are spread across several areas, planning ahead can make a significant difference. Travel time between tasting rooms, winery hours, tasting reservations and the number of wineries you want to visit are all worth considering before setting out.
